A growth question?

I am an 18 year old male( turning 19 in 2 months) and I have grown 3/4 of an inch in the past year. However my growth as always kind of been steady, I never really had a huge growth spurt( peak was 2 inches in one year 14-15) At 5'8 3/8 at just 15 my growth pattern told me that I was going to be 5'11, well it never happened( Dad is 5'11 mom 5-4-5'5) Both of my grandpas were 6 feet). when I turned 17 I had grown only to 5 foot 9. I Thought I was done growing( even though I looked like a 14 year old without any hair on my face) Well when I turned 18 during last summer, all of a sudden my voice started cracking, started growing light facial hair, fine chest hairspimples all over the place and grew 3/4 of an inch to my current height of 5'9 3/4. I still have very oily skin and my voice still breaks occasinaly and my facial hair grows very slow. Do you think I am going to be one of those people who doesn't stop growing until 21 or I have stopped already? How tall do you think I am going to

don't worry. everyone matures differently... your only maturing in growth.. its completely normal.

Reply:guys typically have like 2 growth spurts: but after puberty your growth will slow. It really depends on how fast your growth plates (found in long bones like hip/femur and humerus of arm) fuse. Bone growth and height depend on the rate of spongy bone to compact bone, but once the growth plate fuses, no more can be added, and you'll be done. also, if your hormones stop telling your body to grow and develop, or if you have an injury to a growth plate and it fuses faster, you'll stop growing no matter what. You'll just have to see how it goes. Eat healthy with lots of vitamins and minerals for healthy bones, teeth and tissue
Reply:I think you'll be as tall as you're supposed to be, I think you shouldn't sweat it, you're an ok height for a boy, it's ok... :D
Reply:Hey hon. Yep, sure sounds like it! And hey, theres really nothing wrong with that! I mean, at least its happening sometime, right? Im pretty sure that the average person doesnt stop growin until 19-early twentys so dont be surpised if you put on a couple more inches! And even if you only put on one, thats 5'11 or so is still a pretty nice height. Some guys have late puberty some have it early.. some guys probably dont even start really growing until college. But hey its okay, just relax and let nature take its toll!


Take care! :)
